Funny, I can't remember the thread, but I remember this being discussed earlier.

Bitcoin often gets accused of being a Ponzi scheme, which I don't believe is true.

However, Bitcoin mining is looking more and more like it all the time... Sad

Understood- the current state of mining does not provide a satisfactory return.
But what happens IF btc spikes to 1200us? Then everyone who bought in will look like a genius.
And then the whole cycle will start up again.

Nope. No mining necessary.

If you believe BTC will spike to $1200, then buy it now at $376.76. No need to risk hardware purchases or electricity costs.

Hasn't the myth of mixing currency speculation (i.e. wishful thinking) and mining been so thoroughly debunked that it's beyond reasonable doubt?

+++1 Home mining is dead.  Sorry folks.

...

Its just smoke and mirrors, please shut off that greedy lizard brain for one moment and think about how many companies sell items that are worth more than their purchase price outside of the bitcoin world just by plugging them into the wall/internet and hitting a button.

Thats right, zero. Its a great con, people want to believe in easy money, and theres a sucker born every minute.  
...

I can name one; solar panels. You plug them in, hit a button and the power company uses their network connected meter to calculate how much they owe you. Eventually you'll ROI.

YES!!! Invest in tin foil hats. They will be far more investment worthy!!!


please shut off that greedy lizard brain for one moment



SHUT IT DOWN REPTILIAN BRAINS!   Cool



It really is all about greed, because if everyone did the math and homework, they'd see there's no shot in hell at mining for profit.

Just stop it. People, this is madness. There nothing worth buying, and by buying a dream you allow these companies to give BTC a bad name.

If you arent paying the foundry to fabricate the wafers and putting chips on boards yourself, THERE IS NO PROFIT IN BITCOIN MINING.

BUMP this if you have lost BTC/fiat trying to mine, or have a preorder which wont ever ROI if you ever even receive it.
